Fluorine-Free Foam
Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam (SFFF) and Fluorine-Free Foam (FFF) is an environmentally friendly firefighting foam concentrate formulated without fluorinated surfactants. It is designed to provide excellent fire suppression performance while minimizing environmental impact. SFFF is suitable for both Class A and Class B fires, including hydrocarbon and polar solvent-based fuel fires. SFFF / FFF foams has no traces of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS), Perfluorohexane Sulfonic Acid (PFHxS) as per test report provided by UL & Intertek Taiwan
